Too focused on metrics

Sales representative

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Commission structure provides great pay, very independent work.

Cons

Company structure is very reliant on selling 28.9% interest rate private-label credit cards. Taking care of customers is not the company's top priority, selling credit cards it. Very hard to move up in the company. Management seems unbothered by harassment. Richard Mershad issued a very ignorant letter at the start of covid-19 lockdowns declaring that our presence to make profit was more important than isolation and our own health.

Micro Center Response

Thanks for your time employed by the Duluth store. It sounds like you did find the commission structure to be beneficial for you. I do understand your concerns about the credit cards although it is common practice for retailers to have their own credit cards. I wish you the best in your new endeavor and career. Thanks Jennifer HR Manager 614=850-3150

Pros

Good commission rates if you can maintain the requirements

Cons

Hourly is terrible, even worse is when you work shifts before or after close where no commission is to be made

Micro Center Response

Thanks for your 4 star review and especially for the 5 stars on diversity and inclusion. I know our business focus changes regularly due to the seasonal nature of our business. Feel free to reach out to Home Office HR if you would like to share additional details. Thank you Jennifer HR Manager 614-850-3154
